"Blue Lives Matter".... no, not those ones!

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

They like cops who suppress others but not them.

[-] wrath_of_grunge@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

it's always that way with that group.

we demand freedom! no not like that.

we support the police! no not like that.

etc.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

They back the blue only when the blue is murdering unarmed black people for them.

It's absolutely wild how these trump supporters don't see Capital police as "police". What a fucking cult.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 57 points 2 years ago

Shouldn't the January 6th insurrectionists just have complied?

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

I thought they were all antifa.

Not a lot of those there on that day. Funny thing, that.

"innocent" Jan 6 rioters. You know, those people who broke the law and participated an insurrection that led many of them to be convicted. Those "innocent" rioters.

"Donald Trump Says Something Stupid. Again."

No one should give a fuck what he wants.

I'm not a big cop fan, but the Capitol Hill police were always awesome when I was there. Patient, helpful, professional--you got to know them checking in and out of buildings all the time. I think it being a small group with a really focused and constant assignment might remove some of the crazier bullshit you might find in a bigger city department, for example. There aren't words for how shameful this is.

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

They're also really used to dealing with protestors. I think that probably helps.

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

It'd make national or even world news whenever they fail at their job. Fuckensburg's cops aren't so closely observed.

[-] DrinkyCrow@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

"If it wasn't for those meddling pigs" - Trump probably

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

I wonder what law he thinks they can be charged under 🤔

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Can we call it fascism yet?

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Way ahead of you. Tired of people whining about fascism "coming" to America. It's here. Now. Today. Wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That crackhead pillow slinger, for one

[-] EricKHoward@mastodon.social 1 points 2 years ago

@shalafi @someguy3 Matt Walsh, for example

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You should read the new book “Prequel”.

The US fascists almost won last time.

[-] bloopernova@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

christ, what an asshole.

[-] skellener@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

🤦‍♂️

[-] Ulrich_the_Old@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago
